It imprisons 542 people per 100k of population, currently 1.8 million people. Close to 40% are black despite black people making up only 14% of the population. We in the UK aren't much better; just 4% of our population is made up of black people while they make up 12.1% of our prisoners. 5/6

Keynes’s views were *radical*. Still are. The classical and neoclassical economists still don’t really understand that demand is equally important to supply as an economic driver, nor that it’s a more reliable indicator of “good allocation of resources”. Hardly more evolved than the Physiocrats.😎

Within 2 months’ time, Hegseth’s actions caused a flu outbreak with several hospitalizations and the death of a 25-year-old airman. The effects of long-term testosterone injections will take longer to emerge, but emerge they shall.

It’s just the MAGAest thing ever for Hegseth to end mandatory flu shots for the military while embracing testosterone injections. RFK Jr. probably prescribed it. This is a farce. These people are incredibly dangerous.

When you are the personal lawyer for a known pathological liar like Trump, you should NEVER be Attorney General. The crucial question is: are Republicans still going to go to the mat for Blanche after he aided Trump through his corruption?

Sen Schiff is skewering Blanche on permitting Trump to walk away with immunity from tax liability from a lawsuit Trump filed after the statute of limitations had run--which is an airtight defense DOJ would have normally asserted & which would have ended the litigation. It didn't do that here.

Even a REPUBLICAN senator is asking the obvious question. And Blanche STILL can’t say ‘I used to be his lawyer, now I serve the country.’ He said ‘I’m his lawyer.’ Present tense. This isn’t a slip anymore — it’s who he actually is. #BlockBlanche

I don't know this person, but I think many of us agree with the sentiment quite strongly. Stay safe in Biddeford. Don't forget to keep recording everything that is happening. And don't forget that Susan Collins voted to support ICE. Vote her out and hold these agents accountable.
A small group of protesters has gathered near the scene of the shooting. Things seem to be heating up as more law enforcement are showing up.

This year, Juneteenth falls 7 weeks after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, unwinding decades of progress & undoing a key pillar of the fight for equality. While Republicans are doing all they can to turn back the clock, Juneteenth reminds us that we must never rest in the pursuit of justice.
